Nicki Minaj's new The Pink Print single "Anaconda" was originally supposed to be released on July 28th, but following the artwork hype the rapper announced a pushback, saying that it would arrive on iTunes on August 4th. Well, three days before that time, a low-quality version of the single has sprung a leak.

Da Internez and Polow Da Don grab a Sir Mix-A-Lot "Baby Got Back" sample for the record, appropriate given Nicki's generous backside. The hook mainly consists of clips from "Baby Got Back", including "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun" and the voice clip "oh my god, look at her butt." Given how catchy and popular the original "Baby Got Back" was, Nicki's could very will mimmick that success.

You can listen to the early leak here, via Idolator. What are your initial thoughts on the record? Does it live up to the single art (and the hype surrounding the single art)?

We recently hit NYC streets to find out people reacted to the artwork when it dropped. Watch the new segment below.
